Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

The game begins with the patient meeting Dr. Michael Kaufmann in his office room - and with Harry Mason crashing his car right into Silent Hill. Looks like his driving skills haven't improved since the original game.

Anyway, respond to Dr. Kaufmann's questions regarding a few personal traits. (This certainly isn't a full inventory, but just go with it.) Check the boxes to answer the questions. (With the Wii controls, press the Remote's A Button to check the boxes.) Once the list is completed, it will be automatically submitted. When Dr. Kaufmann asks about the last question (on fidelity), nod or shake to answer yes or no. The answers to these questions will affect a plethora of cosmetic details throughout the game.

Car Crash - Salvage Yard:

The action starts with Harry waking up from his nap after the car crash and picking up his trusty flashlight. For first-time players, follow the on-screen tutorials (assuming they're enabled on the options menu), and get accustomed to the game's controls. Harry can't use his mobile phone yet, but don't worry; it'll become available a little later.

This is an exploration part, so there are no enemies or any other hazards. There are also no items of note to grab yet, although Harry can look closely at certain objects and make various small comments.

Gas Station:

From the car crash at the salvage yard, climb over the fence-like gate. Open the backdoor into the garage of a gas station, and go through the corridors connecting to the convenience shop and the restrooms. (Near the busted public phone in these corridors, there is a sign showing various phone numbers. Later, when the mobile phone becomes available, Harry can dial most of these numbers for fun.)

Past the counter in the shop, in the next corridor, the door is locked by a bolt. Check this door, grab and pull out the red locking pin, and then grab and pull the red handle of the bolt. (With the Wii controls, hold the Remote's B Button and A Button together to grab these objects.) Now that the bolt is out of the way, this door can be opened as usual.

Outside the gas station, continue through the streets until reaching the shops at the other end.

Video Shop or Dress Shop:

Enter either the video shop or the dress shop. The choice of path will influence the details of future scenes, and the puzzles for each area is different.

At the video shop (Clear Picture), the door behind the counter is locked. Go to the security station in the side room. Check the monitor set, turn the dial to Camera 3 (overlooking the locked door), and press the red button to unlock it.

At the dress shop (Theresa's), the backdoor in the rear room is locked. A note posted on it and the tape recorder at the front counter reveal that an employee (Jane) has left the key in a coat. In the rear room, look for the three coats on some mannequin torsos. Pull down their zippers to open them. The key will appear under the first coat that is opened, but the choice of coat will affect the details of the later scenes. Harry will automatically use the key when he goes to open the backdoor.

Outside behind the video shop or the dress shop, proceed through the alleyways, until climbing over a long wooden fence into the playground.
